Hours after putting in flight restrictions, the Federal Aviation Administration is now saying the temporary closure of airspace over El Paso, Texas, has been lifted.
The FAA said in a statement that there is no threat to commercial aviation. All flights will resume as normal.
The FAA had issued temporary flight restrictions over El Paso, Texas, and Santa Teresa, New Mexico, prohibiting all flight operations there for the next 10 days for "special security reasons," according to a notice.
The notice said no flights could operate beginning early Wednesday within a 10 nautical mile radius of El Paso Airport, including from the ground up to 17,999 feet. The restrictions will remain in effect until Feb. 21, the notice said. This excludes the Mexican airspace.
